[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We went to Hawaii last winter break and remember worrying our flight would be cancelled as thousands of flights were being cancelled daily. This seems like a repeat of last year except there really was a weather emergency. Add in Covid, flu, RSV, what a disaster.[/quote]

Its such a stressful time to travel, I really don't understand why people do it. Especially rich people who presumably have very nice homes to spend the holiday in. [/quote]

The kids have two weeks off from school. I am pretty sure we traveled every winter break besides 2020.[/quote]

That's totally fine, but surely you are not shocked that its expensive and stressful and sometimes affected by weathe or illness? These are just known risks. We have sometimes traveled during this two week period too, but we mostly have concluded its not our preferred time of year to travel for all of these reasons. [/quote]

This.

I got unbelievably sick from food poising while in Paris several years ago.  Couldn't get out of bed without passing out.  Was in no condition to travel to airport let alone fly for 7 hours.  I had to pay for 2 extra days in a hotel, a private medical service to administer IVs, a massive rebooking fee that was only $100 less than a new ticket, plus a very generous tip to hotel staff who had to deal with cleaning up a mess and kindly went above and beyond took care/assist me.   It is part of traveling, things happen and unexpected expenses pop up. [/quote]

oh no! I'm so sorry for this. [b]That's why I always travel with zofran and immodium.[/b] I travel to 3rd world countries and one time almost missed a flight because I was so sick, never again.[/quote]

And Benadryl. Covers many bad issues. [/quote]
